- The New Zealand drum & bass producer will release his debut album on Samurai in August.
Tokyo Prose will drop his first LP in August.
London-based New Zealander Sam Reed was first snapped up by Samurai Music back in 2008, when Tokyo Prose were still a duo. Three years later came a breakthrough double-pack called Introducing Tokyo Prose followed by a series of EPs for Samurai and all of its subsidiaries (he's also appeared on Hospital Records and Sun & Bass). Known for his melodic and elegant take on drum & bass (think Calibre), a press release claims that Presence "encapsulates the soulful, emotive vibrancy of the Tokyo Prose sound, now fully formed and refined." The 13-track LP features plenty of collaborations, including Lenzman, Synkro, DRS and Riya.
